The producer of the controversial anti-Islam film “Innocence of Muslims” has been arrested for violating terms of his probation and is set for an appearance this afternoon in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, is scheduled for an initial appearance before Judge Christina Snyder, who sentenced him in June 2010 following a bank fraud conviction.

Investigators have not yet provided details about how Nakoula allegedly violated probation, but it seems clear that his involvement in the “Innocence of Muslim” production is central to the government's new charge.

Goodbye freedom of speech, if this man can be arrested ... on trumped up charges of "violating his probation" ... even if he actually did. We all know *exactly* why he was arrested!

More pandering to Islamism, by you-know-who!

This disgusts me with every fibre of my being!!!!!

The First Amendment didn't give him the right to violate his probation order. Last week, a group forced the NYC Transit Authority to accept their ads against jihad, and a number of the posters were vandalized. One Muslim activist was caught spraypainting over the ad and was arrested (another rider tried to get between her and the poster and got a bit of paint on herself), and immediately played the free speech card. In both cases, it's bogus. We have the right to speak our minds. We don't have the right to break other laws while doing so. He violated his probation order. If he did so, knowing the consequences, but felt strongly enough about the issue to take them on, then he's a brave man, but he does have to face those consequences.
